    The autozone Spectre filter is what I put in my GT. Never got any problems with it.

    Amsoil. I can get you anyone you want on the web site. They are dry flow filters. Flow more then K&N and also filter out more.

    If you're sticking with the stock airbox then stay away from the K&N oiled air filters. They say you won't have problems as long as you don't oil it too much but all I did was take it out of the package and install. I was obviously overoiled from the factory because after a few weeks my MAF sensor was dirty as a result.

    I've never used amsoil filters but it looks worth the money having a dry filter that is cleanable.
    Here's a link to the amsoil site:
    AMSOIL Ea Synthetic Nanofiber Air Filter (EaA)

    ^^I realize a stock L36 is not as fast as the sticker implies, but this sticker has worked and it is still a hell of a lot of fun to drive considering it's a grocery sedan.

    sounds to me like you'd be happiest with a wizaired, but if you wanna save some $$$ then spectre filter is the way to go

    be carefull with those spectre, if your in a dusty location they will NOT trap all dust/dirt. I promise you will find dust inside your intake tube using those. Just wipe your finger inside your intake plumbing and see for yourself. Its ok for most areas. K&N and S&B are my top choices.

    Best 2 filters out their are either the Amsoil Dry flow filter or AEM dry flow. I run an AEM dryflow which is leaps and bounds better than an oil based air filter.
